IN BRIEF: After delivering a herd of cattle in Texas, Hoppy and California are riding the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad back home. Arrogant Princess Iselda Marguerita Stutgart tries to have them removed from the train car; they refuse. Then she recognizes Hoppy as the long lost Prince William of the Royal Family of Burgavia. Pasquale, a gunman, forces the cowboys to go to her ranch. Heck Devlin, another of her gunmen, is jealous of Hoppy. They meet Papa Googie, her uncle, at dinner at her huge ranch, the Crossed Arrow. Papers are found in Hoppy's saddlebags which suggest he's the prince. The princess offers to give $1 million to Hoppy - once they marry! "She's as loco as two ringtail buzzards in a barrel of White Mule," comments California. The wedding takes place at gunpoint. Hoppy spends his wedding night tied up. He talks Devlin into letting him go. The cowboy learns that the princess stands to receive a $5 million dowry if she weds before she's twenty-one. But behind the deal is a plot by Pasquale and the princess' foreman, Lyons, to get her out of the country so they can rustle the cattle on her ranch. "You're the one thing we didn't think of," Pasquale scoffs at Hoppy, "an honest man." Devlin intervenes. There's a shootout. Devlin admits the marriage was phony; the preacher was really an undertaker. Hoppy agrees to give the bride away when Devlin and the princess wed.
